A woman has appeared in Newtown court after she was arrested and charged with assaulting two McDonald’s staff members when she was unhappy with her meal.

The incident happened on 17 March at the Stanmore McDonald’s on Parramatta Road.

The 38-year-old woman had ordered $68 worth of food before she allegedly threw her food back through the drive-thru window because her fries had spilled.

The mother then asked the woman serving her to serve her another set of fries in the boxes.

A 16-year-old McDonald’s staff member asked the driver to pull into the waiting area while more fries were being prepared for the unhappy customer.

The woman said outside court today that the staff member used her hands to put the chips back in their boxes and that’s when she became angry.

“I started getting angry and I go ‘where’s my chips? I just want my chips?’ and she kept saying stuff to me and I said to her ‘what do you think we are?’ and she goes ‘you’re an animal, you’re a dog’ and then I lunged at her,” she said.
